Genoa face a battle to keep Albert Gudmundsson away from Premier League clubs in January.

The Iceland international attacker has been a revelation for Genoa upon their Serie A return this season.

Tuttosport says Gudmundsson's exciting form has brought him to the attention of Premier League scouts.

Aston Villa are particularly keen on the young attacker.

Gudmundsson, 26, has exploded with Genoa over the first two years after being plucked from AZ Alkmaar's reserves.
